I wonder who is betting this in the Trump family. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/kristi-noem-fired-alex-pretti-polymarket-trump-b2908076.html

He really put out "middle-aged lesbian, cosplaying as a Stasi commander" vibes.

Well, well, well.

Mel Gibson got his gun back...even after demonstrating his character in Lethal Weapon was not method acting.

Dan Campbell mentality

I went too far with "failed agribusiness" because the people at many levels of the commodity chain do a great job lashing up to the Federal government to get big payouts.

Had not. I imagine the rural law enforcement slurping types are very excited. Nothing makes a bunch of failed agribusiness moguls more happy than the idea that their deadbeat cousin who can't seem to hold a job could be a "corrections officer".

You may have seen the memes. The Minnesota Historical Society holds the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment battle flag, captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry at Gettysburg in 1863, which Minnesota has consistently refused to return to Virginia despite repeated requests since the 1960s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Virginia_battle_flag https://bsky.app/profile/douglasmack.bsky.social/post/3mdceu7z2ds24

They won Vicksburg just before which was a huge strategic victory, but the stanching of a Confederate invasion of PA was a no-doubter victory.

The other thing. Gettysburg was unquestionably favorable terrain for defense. Minneapolis with its very diverse population and scandinavian backbone seemingly not a place to be rude and unfriendly to people.

Fascinating analysis. The Union did more than win the battle, they created narratives of resistance and success they didn't have before. Antietam was one thing. Gettysburg and Picket's Charge was the 'high water mark' of the Confederacy.

I imagine NYC has the same effect.

Just because its so damn amusing... The squirrel gets all the way across the street.

One of the interesting observations that I've heard about Detroit which is an advantage is the lack of a grid. Why? When there is live music or fireworks the noise doesn't have anywhere to go but back onto you. It makes a very unique sound landscape.

The nerd who judges such things on the internet https://www.youtube.com/@CityNerd Says Detroit is actually doing a great job lately. Detroit's positive growth probably has many fathers and you can't ignore the individual hipsters who choose to stake out a claim on the inner frontier but, the lesson of so many other places with transit is that if you build it, the PE and REIT dollars will come. Even if they don't know why those dollars are coming. They just do. They have to go somewhere. Here is his love letter

So you are saying the Twins are left wing lunatics for posting on bsky. Better transit options would be great. Surface parking is bad urbanism.

Dunno if Chris Illitch favors all those things but he’s acting that way if he only lets Tigers post to NaziX

Bellingcat has a very good analysis up. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01/25/alex-pretti-analysing-footage-of-minneapolis-cbp-shooting/

Note the Mn Twins are on Bluesky. The Detroit Tigers have yet to post to their account. No doubt because they are in favor of surface parking, autocracy and a president who has sex with children.

I think the first image implies he's about to take the penguin off to Epstein's Island to fornicate with it. Just as he did so many times before with human children.

The video is the video. Its an example -why i am relaying it - of the tinderbox that MN is becoming.

They appear to be neighborhood people protecting the crime scene. My guess is they are believing the agitprop they were fed by the 2nd Amendment people all those years.

Welcome Chris Madel to the Revolution!

According to the RW press, the organized left-wing lunatics stormed the hotel where ICE was staying. 1. Good. No rest for those murderers. 2. Bad. Don't give the autocrats a reason. This could turn into the Gorhman massacre.
